and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he<br />

had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tribe of Dan has always been complementary to that of<br />

Judah. During the Exodus, Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of<br />

Dan had the same Master’s position as Bezaleel:<br />

And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of<br />

Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are<br />

wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I<br />

have commanded thee. <strong>The</strong> tabernacle of the congregation, and<br />

the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and<br />

all the furniture of the tabernacle. 709<br />

In the wilderness: the standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the<br />

north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan<br />

shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 710<br />

Jacob had said Judah was the old lion’s whelp: 711<br />

Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up:<br />

he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who<br />

shall rouse him up?<br />

Nevertheless, just before his death, Moses prophesied that the<br />

new lion’s whelp was the strong young lion of Dan:. 712<br />

Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.<br />

Psalm 22 echoes this, and in addition emphasizes the unicorn<br />

totem of the tribe of Ephraim: 713<br />

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have<br />

beset me round. <strong>The</strong>y gaped upon me with their mouths, as a<br />

ravening and a roaring lion...Save me from the lion's mouth: for<br />

thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.<br />

At the time of Solomon, the Danites were still a parallel force to<br />

Judah. <strong>The</strong>y exceeded Judah in skills of architecture and the arts, sending<br />

Hiram to build the Temple. Hiram was the son of a woman of the<br />

daughters of Dan: 714<br />

And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding,<br />

of Huram … <strong>The</strong> son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his<br />

father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in<br />

brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in<br />

fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving,<br />

and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy<br />

cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy<br />

father.<br />
